Ideal Transformer Voltage Equation

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. A varying current in one coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic field, which in turn induces a voltage in a second coil.

The ratio of turns in the primary coil to turns in the secondary coil equals the ratio between the primary voltage and the secondary voltage.
